Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- For more than 10 years, two U.S. businessmen have used their friendship with the Bush family to secure government contracts, a report said Friday.
Looking into a company called New Bridge Strategies, which helps clients win reconstruction contracts in Iraq, the Financial Times found John Howland, the company president, and Jamal Daniel, a principal, have maintained an important business relationship with Neil Bush, the president's brother, stretching back several years.
In Daniel's case, the relationship spans more than a decade, with his French office arranging a trip for Bush's family to Disneyland Paris in 1992, while patriarch George H.W. Bush was president (1988-92), the newspaper said.
New Bridge was established in May and came to public attention because of the Republican heavyweights on its board, most linked to one or other Bush administration or the to family itself.
